摘要:
An electric power steering (EPS) system and methods to attenuate disturbances at the steering wheel by providing a feed forward motor drive input. The EPS includes an electric motor configured to provide a motor drive output responsive to a motor drive input, and an electronic control unit (ECU) being configured to provide the motor drive input, with at least one motor drive component of the motor drive input including compensatory periodic disturbance data. The ECU is further configured to provide disturbance attenuation with the at least one motor drive component from a road wheel signal and vibratory characteristics of a disturbance signal affecting the steering system.

Methods and systems are provided for controlling a steering system of a vehicle is provided. A detection unit is configured to obtain a compass heading, a global positioning system (GPS) heading, or both. A processor is coupled to the detection unit, and is configured to determine whether a vehicle is on a straight line path using the compass heading, the GPS heading, or both, and to selectively implement a feature of the steering system based on whether it is determined that the vehicle is not on a straight line path.

A method of controlling a tire/wheel assembly includes measuring a first amplitude of a selected harmonic order of the radial force variation of the assembly, and locating a first angular location of the selected order of the radial force variation of the assembly. A second angular location of a tire is located, which indicates a phase of the selected order of a radial force variation of the tire, having a second amplitude. A third angular location of a wheel is located, which indicates a phase of the selected order of a runout value of the wheel, and has a third amplitude. A remaining force metric may be calculated using the pairs of the first amplitude and the first angular location, the second amplitude and the second angular location, and the third amplitude and the third angular location.

A system for characterizing a vehicle tire is provided. The system includes a testing assembly configured to support the vehicle tire. The assembly includes a force-moment transducer configured to gather force information from the vehicle tire in response to a stimulus on the vehicle tire. The system further includes an accelerometer coupled to the vehicle tire and configured to gather vibration information from the vehicle tire in response to the stimulus on the vehicle tire. The system further includes a post-processing system configured to receive the vibration information from the accelerometer and the force information from the force-moment transducer. The post-processing system is further configured to extract resonant frequencies from the vibration information and the force information.

Methods and systems are provided for suppression of steering wheel vibrations generated by periodic disturbances in a vehicle steering system. An exemplary method reducing steering wheel vibrations caused by periodic disturbances involves determining a gross torque attributable to the periodic disturbances in the steering system, identifying a desired amount of suppression of the vibrations at the steering wheel, determining an offset torque based on the gross torque and the desired amount of suppression, and generating a motor command signal in a manner that is influenced by the offset torque. The motor drive command signal is provided to an electric motor coupled the steering wheel and/or the vehicle tires, and the motor drive command signal influences the torque applied by the motor to assist steering of the vehicle tires by the steering wheel in a manner that attenuates the vibrations communicated to the steering wheel by the desired amount.

Methods and apparatus are provided for reducing steering wheel vibrations in electronic power steering systems. The apparatus includes a processor and performs a method that estimates an average angular wheel speed of at least one wheel of the vehicle; determines an average wheel angle from the average angular wheel speed; generates sine and cosine functions of the average angular wheel angle; processes the sine and cosine functions with a steering wheel torque signal received from a torque sensor to extract amplitude components of at least one of the sine and cosine functions; reconstructs the sine and cosine functions using the steering wheel torque signal; combines the sine and cosine functions to provide a control signal, and controls the EPS system via the control signal to attenuate smooth road shake vibrations in a steering wheel of the vehicle.
